At this moment!
A terrifying burst of energy shot straight towards him, sending Yu Xuan flying!
At the same time!
The entire space of Flame Island has been sealed off!
Three people emerged from the darkness, their imposing aura instantly overwhelming!
The leader was Ge Kuangwo, and the other two were the left and right commanders of the Holy Cannon Army.
The upright and righteous man is named Feng Qing!
The woman, dressed in silver armor and exuding a heroic air, is named Yue Lang!
All three of them Dao Lord Realm!
Yu Xuan scrambled to his feet, his face a mixture of fear and anger. He glared at Xie Feng: "You set a trap! You deliberately lured me here!"
Xie Feng said, "Anyone with a modicum of intelligence wouldn't react so slowly. I seriously suspect that what's on your neck isn't a head, but a tumor!"
"You!"
Yu Xuan was so angry that his face turned ashen.
"Capture him! Take him alive! Oh, and don't destroy my Heavenly Mortal Jade Ginseng!"
At Xie Feng's command, Ge Kuangwo, Feng Qing, Yue Lang responded and moved into action!
Surrounded by three Dao Lord Realm, Yu Xuan, Dao Venerable Realm, was no match for them.
He tried to resist, but his resistance was futile!
The fierce battle lasted for a full three seconds before Yu Xuan was captured alive by Ge Kuangwo!
" Xie Feng! How dare you! Flame Island, how dare you! Offending my Ghost Clan, you're finished! So what if you're number one on the Heavenly Ranking! You're just a young man! You can't contend with a race with such a deep foundation! In the end, you'll be kneeling at my feet, begging for my forgiveness! Xie Feng, you! Ah!..."
Yu Xuan cursed viciously, and Yue Lang slapped him, knocking him unconscious.
Ge Kuangwo asked, "Lord Xie, what should we do with this guy?"
Xie Feng bent down, took the Heavenly Mortal Jade Ginseng back from Yu Xuan's hand, and said calmly, "He still has value to the Ghost Clan, so let's not kill him yet, just lock him up!"
"Yes!"
The three of Ge Kuangwo, dragged Yu Xuan away like a dead pig.
Xie Feng sat back down under the Green Pine Pavilion. He put the treasures he had amassed—no, the treasures he had earned—into his spatial ring one by one. He squinted and smiled like a cunning old fox.
Luo Ling looked on with admiration.
They started by intimidating us, then looted everything in between, and finally captured us alive!
That's awesome!
He completely outmaneuvered and utterly crushed the Ghost Lord, one of the ten Ghost Clan!
If I had that kind of brain, Treasure Mirror Workshop would have become a giant like Jade Qilin Workshop long ago!
It seems I'm still too kind...
Xie Feng glanced at her. "Envious?"
Luo Ling nodded. "I'm envious!"
Xie Feng said quietly, "Don't follow my example, you'll ruin it!"
Luo Ling smiled wryly. She wanted to learn, but her skills simply wouldn't allow it!
In the Dao Realm, there is a race that controls the starry sky. They settle in the Milky Way and travel among the stars. This once reclusive clan has now emerged into the public eye.
This is one of the ten races, the Star Clan!
Deep within the starry sky stand countless shimmering silver buildings, stretching for billions of miles and occupying countless vast and mysterious galaxies.
Star City.
Why did you come back so quickly this time?
"If I come back late, I get scolded; if I come back quickly, I still get scolded. I'll never meet your standards, Uncle!"
"I was just speaking casually, having a small talk. Has the clan chief gotten angry?"
"Without!"
Inside the main hall, Pei Jue looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, dressed in a black fox fur coat and exuding a noble air, and shook his head.
The man was his uncle, Pei Shanhe, who was also the current regent of the Star Clan!
Pei Shanhe sighed slightly, "Uncle is getting old, and I inevitably rambled on a bit. I hope the clan leader will forgive me."
Pei Jue said, "Uncle, please just tell me what's wrong!"
He didn't want to play along with this old fox. Since he took over as clan leader at the age of ten, real power had been in Pei Shanhe's hands because of his young age, until now.
but...
He and this person are incompatible!
Therefore, they often clash.
Therefore, he desperately wanted to seize power, while his uncle... didn't seem to think so...
Pei Shanhe narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Pei Jue, and a deep light surged in his eyes.
He said slowly, " The Nether Passage Secret Realm is about to open. This is a place where only successive generations of heirs can enter for trials. Only by gaining the Star Ancestor's approval and inheriting the Star Ancestor's power can you officially take over the Star Clan!"
Pei Jue nodded indifferently. Upon hearing the news, he showed no joy; instead, his expression became even more solemn.
Pei Shanhe smiled and lowered his voice, saying, "You've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you?"
Pei Jue raised his eyes, remaining silent.
He hated this atmosphere, this hypocritical atmosphere where everyone had their own agenda!
"I understand. Is there anything else, Uncle? If not, I'll be leaving now," Pei Jue said.
"Why wasn't your guard Xiao Tian replaced when you returned to your clan? I mentioned this before, clan leader, why didn't you listen?"
Pei Shanhe tilted his head slightly, his expression arrogant and indifferent.
His tone was harsh, carrying a commanding dissatisfaction. This condescending attitude made Pei Jue frown slightly.
"I can't find a reason to replace him!"
"I've said it before, his parents are just ordinary merchants of lowly status! And you are the patriarch of the Star Clan, how can a firefly be compared to the bright moon?! You've already incurred the displeasure of many elders, don't you know that?!"
" Xiao Tian has been my companion since childhood, and he risked his life to save me several times. He has always been dutiful and has done nothing wrong!"
"You need more capable, higher-status scions of prominent Aristocratic Clan around you, not an out-of-place businessman's son like him!"
A cold light flashed in Pei Shanhe's eyes.
Pei Jue frowned deeply; this had crossed his bottom line.
He was very agitated, "You can touch anyone, but not him!"
Pei Shanhe, "Clan leader, you need to calm down and prioritize the overall situation."
Pei Jue remained silent!
A moment later...
Pei Shanhe softened his tone and changed the subject, saying, "Let's put aside Xiao Tian's matter for now. We've been together for thirty years, uncle and nephew. Can't we talk about some things openly and honestly?"
"What?"
"If you were in power, would you put your ideals into action?"
"..."
The question was too direct and too pointed; Pei Jue did not answer it!
Pei Shanhe stared at him. "You must understand, the Star Clan's system has remained unshakable for millennia, proving that this method is the best. Throughout history, no clan leader has ever found it unreasonable!"
Pei Jue asked in a deep voice, "Just because it's always been this way, does that necessarily mean it's right?"
Pei Shanhe shook his head inwardly. His nephew had shared his governing philosophy with him when he was twenty, but he didn't understand. Now, twenty years later, Pei Jue was still stubborn, and he understood even less.
"I'll ask you one more time: is that your ideology?"
"No!"
"Hmph! As expected! It was your master who taught him, wasn't it? I deeply regret letting him enter the Star Clan in the first place... What terrible things have I done that have caused Heaven to punish me by sending this person to overthrow the Star Clan?!"
"Uncle! Stop talking! I don't want to hear it!"
Pei Jue clenched his fists slightly, barely able to contain himself.
